OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Still kinda new to the area. Looking to make some new friends. We have two boys (8 & 2). My husband is on the USS Newport News. Is there any other SO on the same boat?

Glad to hear you got to talk! :) My hubs is still in BESS, so I have yet to endure the "fun" of being without any contact for extended time. Used to not seeing him for long times (not our first time, or even second, having a "long-distance relationship"). But can only imagine how hard it can be some days.
We tried the skype thing a time or two since he's been in Groton, but our internet connection where we are is so slow and intermittent that all he sees of us is a badly pixelated pic. :\

He was only gone a couple weeks, and it turns out he was in port for longer than just that day, so we have gotten to talk on the phone, and even skype! :) I have voicemails and voxer messages saved so I can hear his voice while he's underway.

EverAster- sorry to hear that. :( Did he at least leave a message so you could hear his voice? If so, hope you saved it! I know when hubs was in basic I had a voicemail from him saved so I could listen to it whenever I wanted to hear his voice.
How long has your boyfriend been out to sea?

I just missed a call from my boyfriend at his first port of call. I'm so bummed.
